It wasn’t something random, he lied about the CCP’s access to Americans’ data. It almost doesn’t matter that he lied—the truth per se is enough to warrant suspicion.
Still curious, who is the rule for?
As layers of metas accrete, the original reality recedes into the distance, becoming simulacrum.
If you trust that Apple doesn't film you with the camera when you use the phone while sitting on the toilet. Why wouldn't you trust Apple now?

It would have to be a huge conspiracy with all Apples employees. And you can easily just listen to the network and see if they do it or not.
It doesn’t require specific hardware; you can train a neural net with pencil and paper if you have enough time. Of course, some pieces of hardware are more efficient than others for this.
And vocalizing this inner dialogue comes naturally to you I suppose.
Yeah, We've got a full sized iPad here and it's really strange to hold and use. It's all what you're used to.
This article was from someone who had a harder time of it than that.
Fascinating. Thanks for that link.
I would welcome something like Raspberry Pi compute module, that contains CPU+RAM and communicates with other parts via PCIE. This standard can last decades!

Yet another standard for memory will just fail.
Related - a week or so ago I was playing with ASCON[1], a sponge based cipher and hash function aimed at embedded systems. A passing thought was that it might be handy to use as a random number generator. When I read this post a couple days ago, out of curiosity I picked up the ASCON permutation and benchmarked it vs this one.

It was unfortunately a bit slower: ~27 ns per 64-bit value (6 round permutation) vs ~4 ns for the included ChaCha8. I suspect it could be optimized, and run at the higher output rate (8 rounds per 128-bit output). One nice thing is that it does have a smaller state of only 40 bytes.

But - for the performance, this ChaCha8 implementation is awesome!

There's no good reason to think it's not phones.

The article kind of rejects this out of hand but I think it's mostly because that doesn't make for an article that touches on all the other topics the author wanted to write about.

>It might be screens, but it’s not only screens. It’s not like kids are suddenly getting their own phones at age 9; recent survey data from Common Sense Media reveals that phone ownership holds steady, at around 30 percent, among kids aged 8 and 9. (It isn’t until they reach 11 or 12 that the majority of American kids have their own phone.) Indeed, several people I spoke to mentioned that middle-graders’ lack of phones created a marketing problem in an era when no one at any publishing house has any idea how to make a book a bestseller other than to hope it blows up on TikTok.

So there's an uptick in reading for fun when the majority of 12 year olds have phones, allowing publishers to learn how to market to them? I really doubt it. Couldn't find anything supporting that in the Scholastic report where "decline by 9" comes from: https://www.scholastic.com/readingreport/navigate-the-world....

I think they're misinterpreting the Common Sense Media info they cite: https://www.commonsensemedia.org/sites/default/files/researc...

Age 8 is as far back as that data goes. If phone ownership started shooting up by 8, for example, it would make sense that it would take about a year for the reading habit to die off as much as it does.
What springs to mind is the use of Mastodon handles for contributing trail info and discussion of information being contributed.

The only major hang-up is balancing privacy and trustworthiness of the information being contributed.

Perhaps an open solution like this will emerge as people grow tired of profit-driven services like Strava, AllTrails, TrailForks, etc.

I hope so. We need less phones manufacturing. We already have plenty. And they all are the same.
Building better search tools is one of the most directly interesting applications of LLMs in my opinion.
I don't think other areas of engineering see the tooling options double every other year.

RCS is a net loss for privacy: it gives the carriers visibility into your social graph and doesn’t support end to end encryption. Google’s PR campaign tried to give the impression that RCS supports E2EE but it’s restricted to their proprietary client.
Ok, this is a parody account. (Or someone with 0 knowledge of Econ 101) Time to move on.
They absolutely haven't. It's laughable to suggest they've done the most when they've started trends like gluing down batteries, riveting keyboards, etc. Using slightly more recycled parts in the chassis and removing power adapters from the box does not make up for making devices less repairable.
I find it somewhat hard to believe that wouldn’t be in contravention of some law or other. Or am I wrong?

Of course we can then worry that companies are breaking the law, but you have to draw the line somewhere… and what have they to gain anyway?
The free market doesn't work when there is extreme supply inelasticity, as is the case with land in desirable areas.
You catch it. The hallucinated title will fail to match the retrieved text based on the reference ID.

If it hallucinates an incorrect (but valid) reference ID then hopefully your users can spot that the quoted text has no relevance to their question.
I've seen those at Costco stores also.

Whereas in indie coffee shops they use a Square tablet and in Apple stores the store people just use iPhones with special cases. Best Buy or Walgreens uses POS tablets with a relatively ugly GUI.

Legacy apps never die. Charles Schwab might use mainframes while Robinhood won't but Schwab won't move off because it's too hard for an established firm. Same with Costco TUIs.
Running code from outside of the appstore is coming within the next six months in the EU. That should alleviate the problem somewhat. I look forward to apple getting more compliant with how the DMA is actually supposed to function.
One segment - old people. It’s a great device - reliable, fast, convenient, and portable. Large screen is a godsend for old guy like me. If you own one, I think you may find it really pleasant to use as side device on your desk.

I had one from 2020, use it all the time over my phone, and I’m upgrading to this one. 512GB though - shame I can’t get the glass :(

London has several "co-living" [1] housing units at this point, that are basically upscale house-shares for people willing to pay extra to not have to deal with the hassle of house-shares.

Yout get a self-contained flat, but kitchens etc. will be tiny, and then on top there are shared spaces like co-working facilities, lounges, cinemas, gyms, and staff arranging social events etc.

I'd imagine former office buildings could work well for many of the amenities for projects like that.

>“I think this reflects a tremendous hunger among people for ‘reality’—for ordinary reality. It’s very difficult to find the ‘real,’ because the environment is totally manufactured.”

I'd say just "reality", not necessarily "ordinary". Other than that, I agree with Ballard's sentiment. We're starved for genuineness, and instead we're compulsively throwing ourselves into hyperstimuli-ridden mockeries of essential needs: sex, friendship, love, food, stories, competition, playtime, spirituality, exploration. It's honestly baffling. And going only for their genuine counterparts is such an incredibly lonely experience, given the state of the world that we live in nowadays, that you'd need incredible willpower to withstand it.
On their days off they work at my local MOT station earning a bit of extra cash doing odd jobs around the garage. They haven't got a clue mate!

What is the current composition of the city council? Are any of the members actually conservative, or just not-progressive? Why do you think things are so bad in the PNW compared to other places, if not the governance?

Apple only pivoted into the “privacy” branding relatively recently [1] and I don't think that many people came for that reason alone. In any case, most are now trapped into the walled garden and the effort to escape is likely big enough. And there's no escape anyway, since Google will always make Android worse in that regard…

[1] in 2013 they even marketed their “eBeacon” technology as a way for retail stores to monitor and track their customers which…
I thought Motorola and Samsung were both brand names here in the US. Here is Motorola's current budget line. All are below $300. Admittedly the best deals are the 2023 models but that is a regular thing with them. If I wanted a cheap phone today I'd probably get the 2023 G 5G at $149.

You can get them brick and mortar at Best Buy at usually the same prices as on Motorola's site.
Why Airbus Can't Exploit Boeing's Manufacturing Woes
No.

For training the Macs do have some interesting advantages due to the unified memory. The GPU cores have access to all of system RAM (and also the system RAM is ridiculously fast - 400GB/sec when DDR4 is barely 30GB/sec, which has a lot of little fringe benefits of it's own, part of why the Studio feels like an even more powerful machine than it actually is. It's just super snappy and responsive, even under heavy load.)

The largest consumer NVidia card has 22GB of useable RAM.

The $1999 Mac has 32GB, and for $400 more you get 64GB.

$3200 gets you 96GB, and more GPU cores. You can hit the system max of 192GB for $5500 on an Ultra, albeit it with the lessor GPU.

Even the recently announced 6000-series AI-oriented NVidia cards max out at 48GB.

My understanding is a that a lot of enthusiasts are using Macs for training because for certain things having more RAM is just enabling.
As a extremely visual thinker/learner, thank you for creating this!

Many things that were too abstract on paper and formulas are MUCH easier to understand this way.

It isn't worth fighting about, but again I don't think AM is the safety backstop you think it is. I question your claim that presecing AM radio in EVs costs only $5 as well.

If I were in Congress, strictly from a technical standpoint, I'd be ambivalent before knowing more about cost.

Your "If the Left" analogy is silly. The "Left" isn't pushing to eliminate AM radio. It was deemed incompatible with EVs and the market was making a decision.
Speculation:

Cold brew takes more refrigerator space, which is relatively inflexible. Since it brews overnight, you have to put aside enough fridge space for all the cold brew you expect to sell that day. Contrast with regular coffee, which you make largely on-demand, with only the coffee beans to store overnight, on a shelf. So raising the price might be the sensible thing to do, to discourage purchases and/or pay for the extra refrigerator space.
I live fairly close to the wonderful museum this is located at on Hill Air Force Base north of SLC.

This new exhibit is really neat but not very big, all things considered, and not worth the trip on its own.

What is worth the trip is the museum as a whole, with an F-117, the only SR-71C in existence, an F22, and all kinds of other planes and rockets - it's not Wright-Patterson, but it's one of the better USAF museums I've been to.
Give it time; they only turn on the money printer at the last moment. They don't want to appear too eager.
I've looked at the cost of converting office space to residential, and every time, it was slightly less costly than a tear down and rebuild - and in one case it was a lot more. And that's before you deal with parking. The other issue was taxes: the city would not get the same tax revenue out of the building and wasn't very interested in the project as a result.
It’s not just homework it’s outside activities… but also the time spent at class is often wasted so there are not enough hours in the day to do everything.
Have you seen how much an iPhone Pro Max or Galaxy Ultra costs?

Also factor in how many years of SW updates are you getting on those cheap Motorolas and also the quality of the software.

Hardware bang for the buck ain't everything. If the software is full of ads on those cheap phones or is buggy(like it was on my OnePlus), then your $250 phone ain't worth shit in terms of frustration it's gonna cause you long term.
Good call on SSH terminal. I use Prompt all the time to get on my workstation.
I think he's saying they want to make local AI a first class, default, capability, which is very unlike buying a $1k peripheral to enable it. At this point (though everyone seems to be working on it), other companies need to include a gaming GPU in every laptop, and tablet now (lol), to enable this.
Fun fact: While Decker's UI is mostly black-and-white, it represents graphics in an 8-bit paletted fashion, with patterns as "logical colors"; this is very convenient for flood-fills, scaling, and other drawing operations. There is also a user-facing 16-color palette which can be accessed with drawing tools via the "Style -> Color" menu item.
The main pain point they seem to have is the orange circle in notifications bar at the top. I have the same but it doesn't really bother me. It is a little bit of a dark pattern but I can live with it. Like I said, others make it much much harder than Honda, but I agree, Honda could do better still!
I had to take these tests. For me, all it did was turn reading from a fun hobby into homework.
I like this a lot. I've been telling people for a while that asking for direct quotations in LLM output - which you can then "fact-check" by confirming them against the source document - is a useful trick. But that still depends on people actually doing that check, which most people won't do.

I'd thought about experimenting with automatically validating that the quoted text does indeed 100% match the original source, but should even a tweak to punctuation count as a failure there?

The proposed deterministic quoting mechanism feels like a much simpler and more reliable way to achieve the same effect.

I agree their devices last "long" but if they were upgradable they would last much longer.
That does seem more usable for this use case. I'll keep it in mind, thank you!
Not updated to include drone tactics
This matches my experience. Every PC I've built over the last 30 years have benefited from memory and storage upgrades through their life, and I've upgraded GPU a few times. However, every time I've looked at upgrading to another CPU with the same socket it is either not a big enough step up, or too much of a power hog relative to the midrange CPU I originally built with. The only time I've replaced CPUs is when I've fried them :)

Conventional wisdom is that there won't be too many windows available to throw conventional wisdom out of :-)

In the US from 1964 to 1997 you could upgrade your home (i.e., buy one equal or more expensive) and avoid capital gains taxes and after age 55, you could downsize once and not pay capital gains taxes.

From 1997, we've had the current regime of $250K/single, $500K/couple exclusion if you lived there 2 of the previous 5 years from the sale.

If one is looking for a much more readable Bible, versus those low quality, thin paper, small typed copies, I'd recommend checking out Bibliotheca. Also has one of the best videos I've seen done for a Kickstarter campaign.

In this particular case, the proof literally hasn’t been written up yet! The papers are works in progress, only one of which has been even posted as a preprint so far.

But in general it’s reasonably common for a proof to have been written up to the best of the author’s ability, and for it still to be impossible for anyone else to understand it well enough to be confident in its correctness.

Formal logic was no help, for two reasons. First of all the formal logical systems of the early 20th century were really a sort of existence proof, to show that a formal logical system can in principle be defined, and were too unwieldy and verbose for practical use in non-trivial situations. Secondly, it would then become necessary for the reader to check the correctness of a proof in formal logic, which is an even more difficult task than checking a well-written informal proof.

But this is changing: modern formal proof systems are designed with user-friendliness in mind, and produce proofs that can be verified by computer. It’s now starting to happen that formalisation can be used as a way out of the impasse where a proof is too complicated for anyone but the author to understand. I can think of two examples of this: Thomas Hales’s Flyspeck project [1] was the first such case, and required a monumental effort from Hales and his collaborators. Much more recently, Randall Holmes’s proof that NF is consistent was formalised [2], finally putting to rest a very old question in the foundations of logic.

I recently received a 2 page written report of an MRI. I couldn’t understand a single word of it. While waiting a few weeks for my appointment at the next specialist I used ChatGPT to explain it and I found it to be very helpful in understanding what was going on. I felt it did a better job in explaining in lay terms than the specialist doctors did (radiologists, orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists).

Honestly, using a stylus isn't that bad. I've had to support floor traders for many years and they all still use a Windows-based tablet + a stylus to get around. Heck, even Palm devices were a pleasure to use. Not sure why Steve was so hell bent against them, it probably had to do with his beef with Sculley/Newton.

Even if it's just Lenovo using these new modules, I still think it's a win for the consumer (if the modules aren't crazy expensive).
I do think the simple fact of offering hyper-dense communities (especially in cities that lack them otherwise, like many midwestern cities, say) makes any downtown attractive as a living option to a certain group of people who want the "15 minute city" experience. Doing so tends to transform downtowns into actual communities as well, as opposed to places with many low quality vendors that cater to duller, less personable 9-to-5 routines.

And then of course there are knock-on effects to placing people like that (typically young professionals and artists) together like that to rub shoulders, talk about ideas, start businesses etc...
One notable difference: Face ID. I know it sounds silly, but it makes it really convenient especially using keyboard.

Correct. I have no reason to believe Aumasson was compromised, but it’s certainly happened before that people in similar positions have been.

Regardless of whether there’s a third party with an ulterior motive or it’s (more likely) simply the author’s genuine opinion, the paper “Too Much Crypto” seems ok with limiting the security of cryptography to levels that may not be secure against the most advanced and well-resourced adversaries:

> “But what if your adversary is NSA or Mossad? Won’t they have the computing capabilities to run a 280 attack?” Such a question is irrelevant. If your problem is to protect against such adversaries, the answer is probably not cryptography.”

You may agree with that, too. But it’s quite an opinionated stance and one that I’d expect to see clearly signposted and explained in API docs, and for the more expensive and secure alternative to also be available.
Thank you for sharing, absolutely interested!
Open source is like democracy. Imperfect and easy to fuck up, but still by far the best thing available.

Apple is absolutism. Even the so called "enlightened" absolutism is still bad compared to average democracy.
I mean only in the aggregate, only if you got a big community to do it or got picked up and amplified by a political leader. I can't think of any anonymous blog posts which changed the world. Movements like Anonymous have had an impact, but there's a more to that than online screeds. The closest analog might be Q, aka an anon like Ron Watkins, but that itself was swept up in a larger movement that pushed and pulled in all sorts of different directions.

To me the idea of kids posting on Internet forums and becoming major political leaders through their pseudonyms, through logical language like a modern-day version of the Federalist Papers, does seem pretty silly in 2024.
Do you mind sharing a source for this? I spend the majority of my online leisure time pursuing creator communities and I've never seen anything "ecstatic" about iPads.

The iPad audio scene is lukewarm, Procreate is generally considered exciting but I'd sum those as a fraction of a percent of the overall digital creator community. There's also a bit of lukewarm interest in iPads as on set (movie/photo) devices.

I would love to hear specifically who you're talking about and what they are staying.
